The property is located at 859 <br />Rose Avenue.

In addition, Ms. Eisenwinter noted that a commissioner has indicated an interest in adding a <br />condition of approval that the proposed dwelling be rendered at a low-market rental rate. In conclusion, <br />Ms. Eisenwinter noted that staff's recommendation is that the Planning Commission adopt a resolution <br />which would approve Case Z-99-24, subject to the conditions listed in Exhibit "B." <br /> <br />Discussion ensued relating to the location of an additional window, utilization of 24-inch box trees, <br />landscaping design, the size of the area for children to play in, proposed colors of the dwelling and the <br />height of the unit. <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED <br /> <br />Ed Breilh, the applicant, commented on the upgrades performed to the unit and that the property will be <br />an asset to the neighborhood. He stated he would not want to provide the one property as affordable <br />housing, due to it being only one unit, versus a large apartment building. <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED <br /> <br />Commissioner Kameny spoke in favor of approving the application and stated that this project is an <br />enhancement to the neighborhood. Further, he noted that approval of the project will provide rental <br />units in the downtown area. He stated he would not be in favor of conditioning this unit as affordable <br />housing due to the burden it would place on the applicant and the property only containing five units. In <br />conclusion, he noted he would support staffs recommendation. <br /> <br />PLANNING COMMISSION MiNUTES Page 2 July 14, 1999 <br /> <br /> <br />
